Not really. Gentoo/GNU/Linux uses a GNU userland. Gentoo/*BSD uses a BSD |
| 6 |
userland.. |

Gentoo/GNU/Linux uses a glibc ELIBC. Gentoo/FBSD uses FreeBSD ELIBC. Other |
| 12 |
alternatives include uclibc.. |

"(-GNU%*)" means the conditional was removed from IUSE since the last time you |
| 17 |
installed the package. "(GNU%*)" means it was added to IUSE. IUSE records all |
| 18 |
conditionals that an ebuild can use. |

As you can read in the discussion zmedico refers to USERLAND, ELIBC, ARCH and |
| 21 |
KERNEL, however, gets treated specially, which means an ebuild can have |
| 22 |
conditionals on them without recording it in IUSE. Therefore the addition or |
| 23 |
removal of either of those variables may not change anything at all to the |
| 24 |
build which is why it's only a cosmetic change.. |
